In that underground world, as the exploration progresses deeper and deeper, more and more things are discovered.
Various novel microorganisms, plants, and even animals were discovered one after another by the expedition team members.
Although no living creatures like Dragon Bird have appeared again, these remains alone have provided very good materials for scientific workers.
This provides first-hand information for studying the evolution of organisms and the changes of the earth.
However, Zhao Ye is no longer that interested in this. After all, everyone studies different fields. For Zhao Ye, his ability has some very big limitations in the field of biological research.
Therefore, he spent his limited time targeting chips, artificial intelligence, and nuclear fusion.
The significance of aerospace engineering to Zhao Ye is only to provide him with a suitable scientific research environment.
On earth, many of his ideas have certain limitations.
Zhao Ye feels more and more like he is running away. As the end of his life approaches day by day, his desire becomes stronger.
He always felt that such a waste of his system's capabilities was a crime against science.
In Lihua's laboratory, Zhao Ye seemed to be getting more and more irritable. He would lose his temper with the researchers below because of one thing.
Factory Director Yang saw all this, and he didn't understand why Zhao Ye became like this. The confident and calm Zhao Ye seemed to have disappeared overnight.
Lever's senior management held a special meeting for this purpose, and the result of the discussion was for two reasons.
One is that his current single life may have affected his normal work. Ding Qiunan has been sacrificed for many years. During these years, Zhao Ye has always been single. As time goes by, his inner pressure has increased, and his inner emotions have nowhere to vent, so that
It affected his mood and mentality.
Another is the current bottleneck of several major scientific research projects.
Zhao Ye has been engaged in artificial intelligence and nuclear fusion for many years. There have been no breakthrough results in so many years, which has never happened in the history of his scientific research over the years.
It is possible that he attributed this to his own failure. An extremely confident scientist is often unable to face such failure.
They will not think about how difficult this research project is. They will only be frustrated and collapsed because they have spent so long and failed to overcome this problem.
But no matter what the reason was, Zhao Ye's situation was already very dangerous.
It is meaningless. In terms of his current achievements, he can be called an excellent or even great scientist. If such a scientist is destroyed because of his psychological problems, then the leaders and friends around them will
They are responsible. At least they think they are responsible.
The task of talking to Zhao Ye was assigned to Factory Manager Yang. The current Factory Manager Yang is over 70 years old. Usually, he rarely comes to Lihua to hang out.
Today was an exception. On his way to the laboratory early in the morning, Zhao Ye happened to meet Director Yang who was walking around.
"Yezi, are you going to work so early? Have you had breakfast?" Director Yang greeted him from a distance.
"Master, why are you here so early?" Zhao Ye was equally surprised. Logically speaking, Master would not sneak in here after getting up early for a walk.
"Come on, come have breakfast with me. I just have something to tell you." Director Yang couldn't tolerate Zhao Ye's refusal, so he pulled him towards the restaurant outside the experimental area.
Thanks to Zhao Ye's helm, Lever has almost become a benchmark enterprise in Beijing over the years. Let's not talk about its profitability and R&D capabilities. When a person comes to Lever, the most intuitive feeling is the environment and canteen here.
In the words of Zhao Ye, the most valuable thing in the new era is talent, so how to retain talents? It is to give talents what they want.
Under this guideline, Lever built high-rise buildings and a community with a beautiful environment. Such an environment would only be like this in foreign countries.
"Master, what happened to you today? Why do you have to travel so far to have breakfast? The canteen in the experimental area is very good."
"Hahaha, then you have never had breakfast here. Yezi, why don't you get a change of taste? Aren't you tired of always eating food from the same place?"
"Master, don't you understand me? I'm not particular about food. I just want to fill my stomach."
"Yezi, we haven't chatted like this for a long time. I remember the life we lived when you first came to Red Star Factory. Although it was a little harder, I really miss it now when I think about it!"
"Yes, Master, I was young at that time, and coupled with the atmosphere at that time, I always felt that I had endless energy!"
"What now? How do you feel?" Director Yang asked with concern.
"Master, why do you suddenly ask me this?" Zhao Ye was no longer a novice. He was a little confused as to why his master suddenly asked him to talk to him.
"Yezi, you are a smart man, I won't follow you in circles.
I'm looking for you today because all the comrades have discovered that your mood has become worse and worse in the past two years. Maybe you don't know it yet. Yezi, this is very dangerous. If you do this for a long time, it will affect your mental state."
Zhao Ye was silent. Of course he knew that he had become more and more irritable in the past two years, but he knew the reason very well.
"Yezi, Xiaoding has sacrificed his life for so many years, and you don't plan to find another one? It won't work to be alone like this all the time."
"Huh? Master, how could you have such an idea?" Zhao Ye was shocked by his master's logic. He never expected that his master would persuade him to renew his relationship.
"What's so strange about this? You're only in your forties, you can't be single all your life, right? There will be decades to come. If you keep doing this, what will you do when you get old?
Don't worry, I will do the children's work. I can see that Xiaoping is interested in you. If you are willing, I will go and talk to her."
"Master, you are just messing around with each other. How could Xiaoping be interested in me? She just helps me take care of my children, so we are closer. It is impossible for us to be together. I am twelve years older than her.
How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible? What happened to the age of twelve? How normal. Xiaoping is over thirty and hasn't gotten married yet, why do you think she is? She's not waiting for you. If you are willing, I will tell you, she
I'm sure he agrees, and his family won't have any objections. I'll do the work."
Zhao Ye was silent for a long time. He was not sure whether he wanted to tell his master the truth.
Rationally, he feels that this secret cannot be told to anyone. But he is also a human being, and he has emotions and a desire to talk.
Zhao Ye thought about it for a long time, and Director Yang just waited for him quietly. He knew that Zhao Ye was a very independent person. Unless he figured it out himself, no one could dominate his ideas.
"Master, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, let's go for a walk outside."
Zhao Ye looked at the people in the restaurant, and there were more and more people. This is not a place for conversation, and you cannot talk about secret things here.
"Okay." Director Yang was very happy. As long as the apprentice wants to say something, it's fine. As a master, he has to help him with everything.
After eating, the two of them walked into Lever's experimental area again.
The experimental area is very large and contains many different laboratories. For different laboratories, the security levels are also very different.
Among all laboratories, Zhao Ye's laboratory has the strongest security force.
Taking Director Yang into his workplace, there is no place more private than here.
"Master, let me tell you a secret. About why I have been increasingly emotionally unstable in the past two years."
"Tell me, what happened to you?" Director Yang asked nervously. He could feel that maybe they all guessed wrong.
"Master, I'm dying."
"What!" Director Yang jumped up in shock at this statement. He never expected that Zhao Ye would give such a reason.
"Yezi, what are you talking about? Are you suffering from some disease? What exactly is the situation? Tell me clearly, why do you come to such a conclusion?"
Factory Director Yang could no longer remain calm. This news was no less than a major earthquake for Lever.
"Master, don't worry. You are not going to die now, but in a few years! Sit down and I will tell you slowly." Zhao Ye stood up, pulled his master to sit down, and poured him another glass.
water.
"Master, I am not sick, but I also have a special ability. This ability has made me successful in scientific research, but it also comes at a price. I don't have much life left. At present, it is only ten years.
about."
"What's going on? What ability do you have?"
"Master, I can't tell you the details, and I can't explain clearly. But I know that I only have ten years.
The reason why I become irritable is because I have no time to waste, I am anxious! In this limited life, if I cannot break through artificial intelligence and nuclear fusion, I feel that my life will be in vain."
"Yezi, how can you think so? It's wrong for you to think so! Now under your leadership, Lever has overcome many difficulties and achieved many achievements? I don't need to elaborate on this, right?
The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has taken shape, and Wang Shuo said that we can be at least a few decades ahead of the world.
Nanotechnology, superconductivity, automated machine tools, lasers, drones, etc., the achievements you have made are countless.
Yezi, the country not only cares about these scientific research achievements, but also cares about you as a person!
If your special ability comes at the cost of your life, then the country would rather not have you participate in research anymore than save your life."
"Master, don't get excited. Regardless of whether I want to study or not, I won't live for ten years. I just want to leave more useful things to the country in this limited life.
Master, I'm anxious! Do you know? I can no longer carry out many experiments here.
Every day here is wasting my time in vain, so sometimes, I really can't control my emotions.
Master, I really can’t afford it anymore. If I can’t break through the last two bottlenecks, my life will really be wasted.”
Factory Director Yang was silent. He never expected that his beloved disciple's emotional collapse would be due to this reason.
Although he couldn't figure out why Zhao Ye said that he only had ten years to live, he already felt that Zhao Ye was definitely not lying because of the trust they had built together for so many years.
He has been vaguely aware of the magic of his apprentice for so many years. As for knowing his own lifespan, although it is unbelievable to him, it is not impossible because he is Zhao Ye.
After a long silence, Director Yang wiped the tears from his eyes and asked: "Then how can I let you continue to make breakthroughs? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Ye shook his head, he really didn't know what to do.
Manned spaceflight is a systematic project, and it is definitely not something he can do whatever he wants.
"Oh! Don't worry, Yezi, there will always be a way. Let's find a way together."
"I understand, Master, I try to control myself as much as possible." Zhao Ye said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
The two of them were just like this, each silently thinking about their own thoughts.
Of course Director Yang knew Zhao Ye well. He knew that for Zhao Ye, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he could not untie his knot.
Should you advise him to give up those studies that currently have no hope and live the rest of his life well?
No, this is impossible! For someone like Zhao Ye, this is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
But if you want him to continue his research, you have to let him fly out of the earth and into space.
But this is almost impossible! Any project must be planned and step-by-step. Even if the manned space project is launched now, just the various early verification experiments will take many years.
.
Has Zhao Ye waited for many years? He doubted it very much.
Zhao Ye was also uneasy. He didn't know whether to tell Director Yang his plan.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Ye finally said nothing more.
Let's wait a little longer. When he is more prepared, he is considering whether to tell his master about his plan.
Not long after, Zhao Ye proposed a lunar exploration plan in the name of Li Hua.
In this plan, Lever will entrust the Aerospace Academy to launch a rocket to send a small lunar exploration satellite to the moon's orbit. This lunar exploration satellite will be equipped with photographic equipment and other equipment to monitor
A two-year exploration mission will be carried out on the moon.
After discussion, the superiors agreed to this plan. Lever was responsible for building the lunar exploration satellite. After the satellite was completed and inspected by the aerospace institute, it could be launched as scheduled.
In the next half year, Zhao Ye became even busier. Not only were Lever's various research institutes assigned a large number of tasks, but Zhao Ye also locked himself in the laboratory all day long and was busy non-stop.
In this laboratory, a computer equipped with the latest smart core was manufactured. All parts were completed by Zhao Ye using space.
A large amount of data and information was stored in this computer. Zhao Ye used this time to give a systematic explanation of some major issues in future technology. Some key technologies also left design plans.
There may be many things that have not been used much in recent years, or that do not have the conditions for production and research and development. But in the future, after certain fields develop, these materials will definitely be of some help.
Zhao Ye is already preparing for his departure. It is difficult to guarantee that this departure will not last forever. There are all kinds of dangers in space, but this time he escaped alone and secretly. It is very likely that he will escape after the rocket is lifted.
In the process of being empty, he couldn't bear it and died.
But in Zhao Ye's opinion, this risk must be taken. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for him to make any big breakthroughs in the remaining days.
Especially artificial intelligence, he really doesn't dare to create a real artificial intelligence on the earth. It is very likely that he will create a new species, and then humans will compete for control of the earth. Human races have different ideas and
They would not hesitate to break out a war for profit, let alone a new species.
So, he can't do it on earth.
The same is true for the study of gravity. Under the earth's environment, he has not achieved any results in these years. Despite systematic help, he is still standing still.
He didn't even understand gravity, and his nuclear fusion research also didn't make any breakthroughs.
Everything pointed to outer space. This made him not want to wait any longer. Even if he had to risk losing his life, he would give it a try.
On this day, the lunar exploration satellite has been transported from the production unit to the aerospace department for final inspection. If there are no problems, it can be launched next month.
Zhao Ye was also making final preparations. On this day, he called Song Yunping into his laboratory.
"Xiaoping, you're here, come and sit." Zhao Ye greeted Song Yunping immediately when he saw that Song Yunping had entered his laboratory under the leadership of security guards.
After the security guard sent Song Yunping in, he went out. Now, there are only two people in the entire laboratory, Zhao Ye and Song Yunping.
"Zhao Ye, why did you come to see me?"
"Huh? Xiaoping, I remember, this is the first time you have called me by my name directly, right? Why don't you call me teacher?"
"I don't want to call you teacher today, okay?" Song Yunping became rarely stubborn. She boldly stared into Zhao Ye's eyes without blinking.
Zhao Ye also looked at her. After a long time, he said: "Okay, I allow you to call me that today. But only this time."
After hearing this, Song Yunping avoided Zhao Ye's gaze and lowered her head.
"Xiaoping, frankly speaking, I know your feelings for me, but I won't accept it from you. As for the reason, I think you will understand it soon." After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he paused and seemed to do it again.
What a decision in general.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Xiao Ping, you should have your own life, and that partner should not be me. I will not accept your feelings. I won't say anything about not letting Qiu Nan go. It's just that we
I cannot accept the identities of two people. Can you understand?"
Song Yunping didn't speak, she just kept crying.
Zhao Ye felt a little distressed, but he still said cruelly: "Xiaoping, don't think about those things. Tonight, you can vent your emotions as you like, and I will accompany you. But after today, you have to put these feelings aside."
